Chapter 267 Qu Wan'er's Intentions
Qu Wan'er angrily threw a gold hairpin to the ground and vented her anger at her maid: "What kind of third-rate gold hairpin is this? It's not gold at all! It's obviously mixed with copper powder. Where did you buy it when it's so ugly? Do you think this princess isn't unlucky enough?"
Her maid was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said, "Princess, this is the most expensive and freshest style sold in the best Xiuyunzhai in Dingzhou City. I heard from the boss that this is also modeled after the most popular style in the capital..."
All the gold hairpins and jewelry in Qu Wan'er's room were looted last night. She was nearly furious. The furniture was fine, but those gold hairpins, jade hairpins, silk clothes, etc. were all the latest and most fashionable styles that she had asked someone to bring all the way from the capital. They were the only ones in Hejian Prefecture. Now they were all gone. How would she dress and go out to meet people, especially the Second Prince?!
Therefore, early in the morning, she took her maid and others and rushed all over Dingzhou City, buying the most fashionable and expensive jewelry and clothes.
It's a pity that Dingzhou City is located in a remote area and lacks supplies. How can it compare to the capital? No matter how she looked at it, she felt that the clothes and jewelry were all rustic!
"What's the capital style? If others heard this, they would laugh their heads off! Forget it, forget it, hurry up and get dressed. If you delay me, I'll punish you!"
Her maid didn't dare to say anything and quickly got up to continue dressing her.
At this time, a maid came in with a tray and said, "Princess, the lotus seed soup you asked the kitchen to make is ready."
Qu Wan'er tilted her head slightly and said, "Put it down."
Then she said to the other maids in the room, "All of you go out first. Don't come in without my order."
The maids looked at each other, didn't dare to say anything, and retreated.
Seeing that there was no one around, Qu Wan'er took out something wrapped in paper from her sleeve, opened it, and sprinkled the medicine powder into the lotus seed soup.
Chen Fenghe was on the roof at this time. She removed a tile and happened to see Qu Wan'er's movements clearly.
She couldn't help but sneer in her heart, wondering who Qu Wan'er was going to harm next!
Qu Wan'er didn't notice Chen Fenghe. After she saw that the powder had dissolved into the soup and could no longer be seen, she called the maids in and said, "Chun Tao, bring the lotus seed soup and come with me."
The maid named Chuntao agreed, picked up the tray and left the room with Qu Wan'er.
Chen Fenghe used the space to follow, and finally found that Qu Wan'er had entered the courtyard where the second prince lived.
Qu Wan'er knocked on the gate. Seeing this, the Second Prince's guard frowned slightly and asked, "It's so late, I wonder if the princess is here for something?"
Qu Wan'er subconsciously touched the pearl hairpin on her head. This hairpin was completely different from the one she had before. She wondered if the guards from the capital would notice her cheap clothes and jewelry...
She said, "Yes...it's like this. I personally cooked lotus seed soup and brought it over for Brother Cong to try. My father made inappropriate arrangements last night, causing Brother Cong to be frightened. I...I feel so bad..."
The guard looked at her with a paralyzed expression and said, "Princess, it's so late, His Highness has already gone to bed, why not go tomorrow morning..."
Qu Wan'er couldn't help but get anxious when she heard this: "But...but tomorrow morning the lotus seed soup will be cold. You...you didn't even go to report it, so how did you know that Brother Cong had already gone to bed and refused to see me?"
The guard was about to say something else when Xiao Yuncong's voice suddenly rang out from the room: "What's all the noise outside?"
The guard told Xiao Yuncong that Qu Wan'er was coming.
Xiao Yuncong was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "So it's the princess? Why don't you invite the princess in?"
Qu Wan'er was delighted and said, "Brother Cong, I'll come in right away."
